189 Results

Whether you need to calculate math equations, tally up end-of-quarter expenses or simply jot down some notes, mechanical pencils are perfect writing instruments when non-permanent marks are a necessity. Available in a diverse range of point sizes, from slender 0.5 mm to bolder 0.9 mm, and many different color and design options, it's easy to find a mechanical pencil to meet your requirements.

Operation

The primary advantage of mechanical pencils over other types of pencils is that a mechanical pencil eliminates the need for sharpening. A mechanical pencil will either use twist-action to advance and retract the lead or it will use click-action. Most pencils include multiple full-length leads inside the barrel to keep you writing and are self-feeding for hassle-free use. Stock up on mechanical pencil refills, so you always have spares on hand.

Tip

When dealing with mechanical pencil lead, it's important that the design of each pencil actively prevents lead breakage, especially when applied to paper. Look for mechanical pencils with shock-absorbing tips and cushioned points, which adjust to the pressure of your hand as you write and safeguard the lead.

Design

Stay comfortable as you write with a mechanical pencil that has a thick, contoured rubber grip built in to help prevent hand fatigue and allow you to establish a secure, controlled grip. An integrated pocket clip makes it easy to fasten a mechanical pencil on the outside of a pocket, notebook or folder, while shatter-resistant barrels stand up to daily use. Look for mechanical pencils that have jumbo erasers built into the other side, so you can quickly erase mistakes and blunders.
